Secular assumptions are being introduced piecemeal into our way of
life. From the Millennium Dome (what exactly was it celebrating?)
to the restrictions on the wearing of crosses and abolition of
nativity plays, Christianity is being marginalised. Christian
social initiatives at local levels are now so severely restricted
that several Christian bodies issue guidelines on handling local
council prejudice. There is a widespread if illdefined sense that a
valuable heritage is slipping away.
Yet the Bible and Prayer Book are seminal for our language and
literature; Christian social action predated the modern welfare
state; our laws are based on Christian ethical systems. Christians
should push back, re-engaging with politicians and opinion formers.
Christians must be salt and light. Introverted Christianity must
give way to engagement with the world, not defensively but with
confidence and hope. It is time for a proper debate about the place
of faith in modern Britain.
